Choong Hwa Won (Korean & Chinese Restaurant) | 중화원 (한국식 중화요리-중식,한식)

It was my first time visiting this place, as a family member had recommended it. The atmosphere is typical of an Asian restaurant, specifically Korean—nothing out of the ordinary. The menu is simple and straightforward. However, the highlight of the restaurant is definitely the food and service. I ordered jjajangmyeon and spicy chicken—both were excellent. I highly recommend it!

The servers were super friendly and the food was fantastic. This is a no frills Korean restaurant, and that’s what I love about it. It feels like a restaurant run by Korean aunties, and that’s what it is. We had the combo Jajiangmian and Tangsuyuk, and both were super delicious. The kimchi was super good too…I liked how it had a subtle sweetness to it 😋 Just note that they put a mandatory 18% service charge on the bill but the service was great so I didn’t feel like it was unreasonable.

I had high hopes based on social media reviews. The service was fantastic - I dare say it might the best service I have ever experienced in a Korean restaurant. But I have the say, the noodle dishes were a let down when compared to other places. The jjamppong was not very flavorful and lacked the smokiness. The jjajangmyen was alright. The tang su yuk was okay, the sauce was not the best and lacked salt.

We had a quick dinner in this place. When you enter the restaurant you will feel immediately the changed of ambiance in a good way, I feel like we were really in Korea. It is also really nice to have people around who speaks the language and also can easily converse in English. The food was pretty homey. We had a hot stone bibimbap and a jjampong with sweet and sour pork. The side dish was also amazing. Love the place and the vibes.

This place is known for its generous portions. The food is overall good, but not the best I've had in other similar places. I recommend Jajangmyeon (Black bean sauce noodles), which is tasty. The atmosphere and service are good in general.

Our friends was visiting NOVA and wanted Korean food!l. We came Saturday for lunch. I always liked this place. While it’s not flashy or trendy, which is reflected in the decor; they do make is good traditional Chinese-Korean food. We got a couple of items, I got the large jajang myun, the jjam-bbong and the pork tang soo yook. The food came out relatively quick. You can get a combo which is nice, but we always go for the individual entrees. During the weekends, you do pay dinner price regardless of the time. Everything was good but my favorite is definitely the spicy seafood soup (jjam bbong) which always hits the spot. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and I like how it comes with the sauce on the side so it does not get soggy. Service is friendly and quick. Not much I can dig them on. This is why I always come back.

We love this place! 🤩 The food is always fantastic and the servers are very friendly! We always get the large Tang Suyeok (sweet&sour pork), Jajang Myun (noodles in black bean sauce), and the Ohjingo Boekum (spicy fried squid which comes with noodles). You can also have your choice of hot or cold barley "tea" which Koreans drink like water. 😉

I happened to go to this restaurant for the 4th time yesterday, and was joined by two friends. Together we decided to order some classic Korean-Chinese (and Korean) dishes - japchae, pork tangsuyuk (large size), and seafood jjampong. It was an enjoyable meal overall (my friends especially liked it) and we all went home feeling quite full while the price was quite reasonable. The japchae was probably the highlight of the meal - everyone in the group loved it and for good reason. The noodles were quite fresh and tasty while the vegetables and meat were given in decent (but not overwhelming) quantity. We made the mistake of ordering the regular japchae over the gochu japchae, hence were initially confused about the lack of small buns that come with the dish. Regardless it was enjoyable. Personally I like the tangsuyuk at Choonghwawon more than the other Korean-Chinese places I've been to - the meat seems more consistently fried, decently breaded (but not overwhelmingly so), and the sauce has a richer taste to it. As for the jjampong? I suppose the description of "hit or miss" may be true. This time it was pretty fine - I wouldn't say the best I've had, but certainly not the worst. My recommendation? Go try it yourself and see! Anyways, all in all the meal was good and I will continue coming back to this restaurant and recommending it to my friends. I hope this review comes off as useful.
